[0045] This utility model discloses a shower chair with a rotating seat. The seat includes a seat body and a cushion assembly located above the seat body and rotatably connected to the seat body. During showering, the cushion assembly can rotate relative to the seat body, thereby avoiding or reducing skin tearing caused by friction between the skin and the cushion assembly during use. The bottom of the base is equipped with suction cups, which allows the shower chair to be easily fixed on the bathroom floor or in the bathtub. The lifting bracket allows the seat to be stored.
[0046] Example 1
[0047] See Figures 1 to 10 See Figures 1 to 10 The first embodiment of this utility model discloses a shower chair with a rotating seat 03, wherein the shower chair with the rotating seat 03 includes:
[0048] Base 01 has a suction cup on the bottom;
[0049] Lifting support 02;
[0050] Seat 03;
[0051] Chair back 04;
[0052] Among them, the backrest 04 is installed on the seat 03, and the lifting bracket 02 connects the base 01 and the seat 03;
[0053] The chair seat 03 includes a chair seat body 1 and a cushion assembly 2 located above the chair seat body 1 and rotatably connected to the chair seat body 1.
[0054] In this embodiment, the backrest 04 and the seat 03 are rotatably connected, allowing the backrest 04 to be folded and stored. The specific folding structure between the backrest 04 and the seat 03 can be found in the accompanying drawings or existing technology. The specific structure of the lifting bracket 02 can also be found in the accompanying drawings or existing technology.
[0055] In this embodiment, the chair seat 03 also includes a spherical support member disposed on the chair seat body 1, which supports the seat cushion assembly 2.
[0056] In this embodiment, the spherical support is a universal ball bearing 3, which includes a ball bearing seat and a ball bearing. A mounting chamber 13 is formed on the seat body 1, and the ball bearing seat is fixed in the mounting chamber 13 by screws from bottom to top. In other embodiments, the universal ball bearing 3 may also be tightly fitted to the mounting chamber 13.
[0057] In this embodiment, there are multiple spherical supports distributed circumferentially. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are four annular supports.
[0058] In this embodiment, a plurality of guide grooves 131 are formed in the mounting chamber 13, and the universal ball bearing 3 forms a guide portion that cooperates with the guide grooves 131.
[0059] In this embodiment, the chair seat body 1 includes a support base 11, with a snap-fit ring 14 extending from the center of the support base 11. A rotating hole 12 is formed in the hollow portion of the snap-fit ring 14. The seat cushion assembly 2 includes a rotating portion located within and engaging with the rotating hole 12. The support base 11 has a horizontal support surface and edge retaining rings. Multiple reinforcing ribs extend from the lower surface of the support base 11. These reinforcing ribs are divided into crisscrossing reinforcing ribs and annularly distributed reinforcing ribs.
[0060] In this embodiment, the seat cushion assembly 2 is snapped into the chair body 1.
[0061] In this embodiment, the seat cushion assembly 2 forms an annular hook 212 (i.e., a rotating part), which includes an annular part and a hook outside the annular part.
[0062] In this embodiment, a deformation notch 213 is provided at the lower end of the annular portion.
[0063] In this embodiment, there are two deformation notches 213 and two hooks, which are distributed alternately.
[0064] In this embodiment, the seat cushion assembly 2 includes a rotating base 21 and a soft cushion 22. The rotating base 21 and the soft cushion 22 are detachable. In other embodiments, the soft cushion 22 may be non-detachable from the rotating base 21, for example, by pre-embedding the soft cushion 22 before manufacturing the rotating base 21 through injection molding or other methods.
[0065] In this embodiment, the seat cushion assembly 2 is disc-shaped, thereby increasing the area of the seat cushion assembly 2 without interfering with the chair back 04.
[0066] In this embodiment, the seat cushion assembly 2 further includes a fixing buckle 23, which includes a cap and a shaft. The rotating seat 21 has a mounting hole 214, and the soft cushion 22 has a countersunk hole. The shaft of the fixing buckle 23 passes through the countersunk hole of the soft cushion 22 and is fixed to the mounting hole 214 of the rotating seat 21.
[0067] In this embodiment, an annular rib 216 is formed on the lower surface of the rotating seat 21. The rotating seat 21 inevitably deforms, and the annular rib 216 reduces friction during rotation, allowing the seat cushion assembly 2 to rotate smoothly. There are two annular ribs 216, located radially inner and outer sides of the universal ball bearing 3, respectively.
[0068] In this embodiment, the seat cushion assembly 2 also includes a wear-resistant ring 25 embedded in the lower surface of the rotating seat 21, with the spherical support member in contact with the wear-resistant ring 25. The wear-resistant ring 25 is made of stainless steel. The lower surface of the wear-resistant ring 25 is basically flush with the lower surface of the rotating seat 21. By using the wear-resistant ring 25 instead of the rotating seat 21 to contact the universal ball bearings 3, a longer service life is achieved.
[0069] In this embodiment, the retaining buckle 23 is tightly fitted with the mounting hole 214, and the lower end diameter of the shaft portion of the retaining buckle 23 is larger than the upper end diameter. In other embodiments, the retaining buckle 23 may also be threaded into the mounting hole 214.
[0070] In this embodiment, a groove is provided on the bottom wall of the soft pad 22, and a fixing piece 24 is provided in the groove. The fixing buckle 23 is engaged with the fixing piece 24 to avoid or prevent the fixing buckle 23 from easily falling off the soft pad 22.
[0071] In this embodiment, auxiliary wing plates 4 are provided on both sides of the main body 1 of the chair seat. The auxiliary wing plates 4 rest on the side wall of the bathtub and cooperate with the suction cup to prevent the base 01 from moving.
[0072] In this embodiment, the rotation of the seat 03 does not refer to the rotation of the entire seat 03, but rather the rotation of the seat cushion assembly 2 of the seat 03, while the main body 1 of the seat 03 remains stationary.
[0073] In this embodiment, the edge of the chair body 1 is also provided with holes for installing a rectangular seat cushion, so that when the seat cushion assembly 02 does not need to rotate, the seat cushion assembly 02 can be removed and replaced with a rectangular seat cushion.
[0074] The beneficial effects of the shower chair with a rotating seat 03 in Embodiment 1 of this utility model are as follows: the seat 03 includes a seat body 1 and a cushion assembly 2 located above the seat body 1 and rotatably connected to the seat body 1. During showering, the cushion assembly 2 can rotate relative to the seat body 1, thereby avoiding or reducing skin tearing caused by friction between the skin and the cushion assembly 2 during use; the bottom of the base 01 is provided with a suction cup, which allows the shower chair to be easily fixed on the bathroom floor or in the bathtub; the lifting bracket 02 allows the seat 03 to be stored; the cushion assembly 2 is snapped into the seat body 1 to avoid or prevent the cushion assembly 2 from easily coming off; the use of universal ball bearings 3 and wear-resistant parts ensures a long service life.
